Jon Kenneth Dippel

Jon Kenneth Dippel, 54, of Lufkin, Texas passed away on February 14, 2021 in Lufkin. Jon was born September 10, 1966 in Baytown, Texas to parents Joan Elaine Fayle and Robert K. Dippel. He attended Robert E. Lee High School where he would be a star athlete in football and track. He later attended Stephen F. Austin where he would settle down with his wife, Anna Kristine Reynolds of Lufkin, Texas and have four children. 

Jon was the owner and operator of Dippel’s Air Conditioning and Refrigeration where he proudly served his community for 26 years. When not working, Jon loved spending time with family including his three new grandchildren. He was boastfully proud of his four children and their successes in life. He was known by many for his abilities to entertain others with his BBQ brisket and extraordinary firework displays. His other hobbies included snow skiing for vacations, enjoying dinner at local restaurants, and watching movies with family. Although taken too soon, his life was fulfilled by his loving and patient wife, four children, and three grandchildren. Those who knew Jon will remember his generosity and caring nature. His wife and children will remember him as a wonderful father who taught many valuable life lessons.
